The 9 tracks on this new project are all produced by Sapient and highlight OnlyOne's razor-sharp wit. Most of the songs feel unfinished with either verses or hooks missing, but the simple combination of OnlyOne's rhymes over Sapient's beats gives this informal album plenty of replay value. Police Brutality (B-Sides) is available now on itunes and other digital music stores.

First off, on behalf of Trek Life and Duke Westlake, I'd like to thank you for supporting the Hometown Foreigner project on your site.

This video was shot over the course of three months and checks in at a little under 35:00 minutes. We hope that you press play and enjoy.

West Coast Gangster brutality meets East Coast Boom Bap on PKnuckle's "Block Monsters." The Mel Man produced track, which most appropriately samples the theme song from the TV show, The Munsters, should have your subwoofer rattling until Halloween.

Chaotik Stylz spent the majority of his formative years shuttling back and forth between Buffalo, NY and Los Angeles, CA and did so by navigating between two different worlds; the suburbs of Buffalo and the inner-city of LA. “My upbringing was odd to say the least. I was primarily raised by my mother, who was an actress who later became a school teacher and when she passed away after a long-battle with Lupus it unleashed a monster inside of me. My father, left for Los Angeles when I was a kid, needless to say it created issues” states Chaotik.
